Chapter 1007 – 1007. Yggdrasil (7)
As Loki said, the party members did not recognize Loki’s face.
Just…
“Suho, what is that jewel?”
“Is that a gem? “I thought it was just a purple rock.”
“I know… “It’s too cloudy for a gemstone?”
It looked like a strange-looking stone block.
Loki received the attention of the party members…
“Lerorerorerorerorero!”
He started acting rude towards the party members.
‘You crazy bastard!’
I got angry for a moment and hit Loki on the forehead with my palm.
Snap!
Hehe! Why are you hitting me?”
Loki is screaming and complaining to me.
However, all the party members who saw me and Loki looked at me with surprised expressions.
“Huh? “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
Fortunately, in the eyes of the party members, it seemed like he had just hit a rock with his palm.
After wrapping up the incident(?), I briefly explained what happened inside to the party members.
Except about Loki.
‘There is no need to know that this rock is the monster from earlier.’
After hearing my explanation, Min Ha-yeon nodded and said she liked it.
“As expected, it was a good thing I drove Suho.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Min Ha-yeon’s smile.
“Hayeon, are you really okay?”
Min Ha-yeon took first place in public achievement.
No matter how much Min Ha-yeon wanted it, she was reluctant to know that all of her rewards had been taken away.
Even now, she was willing to hand over everything if Min Ha-yeon wanted it.
But Min Ha-yeon, who heard what I said…
“Ugh! “I’m saying it’s okay!”
He wrapped his arms around my neck and urged me.
“Rather, if I had that ability, I wouldn’t be able to use it properly?”
Min Ha-yeon did not underestimate her own abilities.
“It’s difficult to control the archery and summoning skills I’m using now. But Suho, you… “Your brain works really well in that direction.”
A situation where many abilities can actually be toxic.
As Min Ha-yeon said, I was better at utilizing her various abilities.
I decided to respect her opinion.
“If there is a problem with me, I will hand it over right away.”
“…”
When Hayeon Min heard what I said, she frowned and tightened my throat.
“Big… Ha, Hayeon… I can’t breathe… ?”
“To silence those who say such things!”
“Big…”
Fortunately, Min Ha-yeon’s anger was relieved quickly, and her strangulation was also relieved.
That’s how it all ended.
“But what is that?”
I thought so.
There was a single pipe in the direction Min Ha-yeon pointed.
The settlement room is like an empty plain.
The brown box that exists there.
“That… “It’s a coffin, right?”
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like a coffin containing someone’s body after death.
The party members nodded and answered my question.
“Yeah, I was wondering if everyone should open it…”
“I was waiting for you to make a decision when he came.”
All the party members decided that it was not urgent and waited for me.
I nodded and slowly approached the coffin.
As we approached the coffin, Loki burst out laughing and opened his mouth.
Hehe! Now that I think about it, there was that guy!”
“… ?”
Who is there?
I carefully pushed the tube to the side.
And the being inside the coffin is…
“… Goblin?”
It was a goblin with green skin.
.
.
Not long after, we were able to leave the settlement room.
No, in fact, it would be more accurate to say that he was kicked out rather than coming out.
“Uh…”
The way to kick us out of the settlement room is through warp.
He suddenly moved in space and dragged us somewhere.
There were no complaints about the warp itself because it transported you somewhere easily, but the method was very unfriendly.
“Ah… I feel like I’m going to get motion sick…”
“Me too… I feel like I’m going to throw up…”
The time spent on the warp was only 10 seconds, but the warp was bad enough to cause motion sickness in that short period of time.
It was a moment when I realized how great the ship’s warp was.
“Where am I?”
I forced my misplaced focus to the center and looked around.
But ironically, my hearing responded before my vision returned to normal.
“Woah, the hero is back!”
“Tell this to His Majesty!”
There was a loud noise and I felt someone surrounding us.
And after a while, the sight of soldiers came into focus.
I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw the cheering soldiers surrounding us.
“Phew… “I’m back.”
Survived.
The mountain of darkness from which no one has ever returned…
While I and the rest of the party were relieved, a soldier spoke directly to me.
“Hero… I wonder if the person next to me is also a colleague… ?”
There was a blanket next to me.
However, the blanket was rolled up like kimbap, as if something had been rolled up.
It’s like rolling up a dead person.
The soldiers were looking at me with distraught expressions, probably thinking that my comrade was dead.
I answered by nodding my head.
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Oh, I understand.”
As soon as we finished the conversation, a loud sound was heard from far away.
“His Majesty the King is coming!”
At the same time as I shouted, I saw the king running towards us in a huff.
As soon as the King arrived in front of me, he welcomed me with a warm welcome.
“I’m glad you’re safe!”
When I was receiving such hospitality from the king, I was also able to meet an unexpected person next to me.
A goblin smiling brightly and welcoming us.
“I really didn’t know you would come back!”
It was Roy, one of Wedlock’s sons.
Roy was talking to the king at the time, and when he heard that we had returned, he came running with the king.
I looked at Roy and nodded.
“It’s true that you came back, and you found what you wanted.”
I looked at the blanket rolled up next to me and gestured.
Roy looked at the blanket, then he looked at me with a serious expression and asked.
“If…”
I nodded without listening to Roy’s answer.
“I never thought the reason to clear the boss dungeon was because of that…”
Haha… No way… I never thought I’d come back…”
Roy smiled as if he had lost his mind and asked me a question.
“Are you alive?”
“Yes. “It was in bad condition when I found it, but I recovered it using recovery skills.”
“…”
Roy cautiously reached for the blanket, but I grabbed his arm and shook his head.
“Wouldn’t it be better to show it directly to the person who requested it?”
“That… Yes. That’s right.”
Roy couldn’t show any of the composure he usually showed.
I was sweating profusely and just kept glancing towards the blanket.
‘… ‘I’m sure you’re not trying to kill me, are you?’
[I don’t think that’s the case. I think I was just taken aback by the unexpected situation.]
I decided to believe Armonia’s words after checking the temperament window.
While I was thinking that, the King spoke directly to me.
The content is a welcome ceremony.
He wanted to invite us to a grand welcome ceremony prepared in advance.
But I bowed my head and said.
“Please hold the welcome ceremony after you go to the 3rd floor.”
The reason I entered the boss dungeon was because of Wedlock’s request.
And inside that blanket… There was a reason why Wedlock gave me the request.
I wanted to quickly go to him and tell him that I had completed the request.
After hearing what I said, the King kept smiling and spoke to me.
“We will prepare a welcome ceremony to be held as soon as you return.”
“I think you can do it without me…”
“If you do not feel uncomfortable, please attend. If a banquet is held without the main character… “It’s so sad.”
The welcome ceremony we prepared this time was a congratulatory banquet prepared in preparation for our return.
And the main character of the banquet was me.
They prepared it for me at best, but I decided it wouldn’t be polite to leave it out.
“All right. “I’ll be back soon.”
The party members, including me, headed to the 3rd floor while being seen off by the King and Roy.
“We’ll go to the royal floor.”
As soon as the party members reached the third floor, they wanted to go straight to the royal floor.
It wasn’t because I missed the royal class.
“I’ll come back and make sure everyone is doing well.”
I missed the three people living on the third floor.
Since I was planning on going to Wedlock’s mansion alone anyway, I obediently let them go.
“Okay. “I’ll go right after I finish my business.”
“Oh yeah!”
The expressions on the faces of the party members who were going to the royal floor for the first time in a while were pure happiness.
But only one person has yet to experience such happiness.
“Do you like the royal class that much?”
In the middle of winter, the party members muttered as if hypnotized with ecstatic expressions.
“Then… “It’s a place you never want to go back to.”
“Joy… “I don’t think it would be a good idea because I just hate that kind of luxury.”
“Fuhaha! Record what he says. “I’ll tell you later.”
“Record it!”
The party was so lively that you wondered if it was true that you were fighting for your life just now.
After sending those party members to the royal floor, I immediately met Madame and headed to Wedlock’s mansion.
Madame got into the carriage with me, but she didn’t say a word.
Just…
“…”
I just stared at the blanket next to me.
Madame has also been Wedlock’s right-hand woman for a long time, so she probably knows who the person inside the blanket is.
Only when the carriage had almost reached the mansion did Madame open her mouth.
“I hope you’re safe… “You’re welcome.”
I folded my lips with a smile at Madame’s words.
After kissing Madame for a while, I spoke after separating her lips.
“I’ll stop by when I have time.”
Madame blushed and responded with a smile.
“… Yes, I will be ready to welcome you at any time.”
After a brief greeting with Madame, the carriage arrived at Wedlock’s mansion just in time.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I carefully wrapped myself in a blanket and got out of the carriage.
It was the moment when I was about to enter the mansion.
“Huh! Huh! “Whoa!”
I could see a green goblin running towards me from a distance.
I knew right away who his identity was.
“Mr. Wedlock!”
Wedlock, the ruler of the third floor.
As soon as Madame saw Wedlock, she took off her shoes and ran to him barefoot, then supported him.
“You can’t run like this! If you do that, your body…”
“Done! Bar… Quickly guide me…”
“… I understand.”
Madame came towards me, supporting Wedlock.
I followed suit and slowly approached Wedlock.
Wedlock that I usually only saw at the dining table.
His appearance, which was always full of majesty, was Wedrock.
The Wedrock I see before my eyes right now is…
“Huh… Hehe…”
He was just a weak old goblin.
The old goblin looked up at me with a trembling body.
But his eyes did not look at me.
As soon as…
“I cleared the boss dungeon… “It gave me an unexpected reward.”
It was a blanket placed on my shoulder.
I carefully placed the blanket on the floor.
“Huh… Huh… Huh…”
Wedlock couldn’t catch his breath easily.
Maybe it’s because I ran… Maybe it’s because I’m looking at the blanket right now… I couldn’t know for sure.
Wedlock slowly lifted the wrapped blanket.
And inside… One goblin was breathing as if dead.
“This… Like this… Like this…”
Wedlock let out a strained voice and slowly began to hug the goblin inside the blanket.
‘I can sleep now.’
The sleep on the goblin has been lifted.
“Keuuuuu…”
As soon as sleep was lifted, the goblin hugged by Wedlock slowly began to open its eyes.
Wedlock was startled by the goblin’s moans and checked her condition.
“Ah… Ahhh…”
Wedlock sheds more and more tears as he sees the goblin slowly opening his eyes.
When the goblin opened her eyes, her eyes were cloudy, as if she had cataracts.
However, she looked at the being embracing her with those eyes and spoke faintly.
“Ah… Dad… ?”
As soon as he heard the goblin’s voice, Wedlock cried out loud and hugged him tightly.
“Okay!! It’s dad!! It’s your dad!!!”
Loki, who was looking at that scene, laughed in a voice that only I could hear.
“Kihaaaaa! Father and son reunite after a thousand years! “It’s a famous scene you can’t watch without crying!”
